Five of Pentacles

KeywordsHardship, exclusion, health worries

The picture · Bright face · Shadow · Way through

Every card has four faces: what the picture shows, the bright face it turns when the situation supports it, the shadow when the same root is overdone or stuck, and the way through that the picture itself draws.

The picture

Two figures limp through snow past a lit church window

Bright face

Hardship walked together, not alone

Shadow

Need too proud to knock

Way through

That lit window is a door away — it is around the corner

As your card of the day

If Five of Pentacles is the first card you draw today, the day leans toward “Hardship walked together, not alone”. When it tips toward “Need too proud to knock”, remember the way the picture draws: That lit window is a door away — it is around the corner.

Auspira is for entertainment and self-reflection. The cards are a mirror that shows the present from another angle; they do not predict the future and are no substitute for medical, legal, financial, or psychological advice.
